EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 2011 Proxy Season: Compensation and
Pay-for-Performance Dominate the Agenda
The past decade has been a whirlwind for corporate governance
in America. Since 2001, we have witnessed a myriad of scandals,
epic corporate failures and legislative and regulatory attempts
to prevent more of the same. Early on it was the failure of firms
such as Enron, WorldCom and Global Crossing. More recently, the
failure of financial stalwarts like Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns
and AIG nearly pushed our markets to the brink of collapse.
These failures have ushered in a new era of shareholder activism
and corporate governance initiatives, including extensive
legislative reform efforts and new rules by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC), the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
While many of the proxy-related reforms have focused on
enhanced disclosure requirements (the SEC has approved
expansive new rules around director experience and
qualifications, board leadership structure, board risk oversight
responsibilities and Compensation Disclosure and Analysis
(CD&A) disclosure), new regulations have been put in place that
fundamentally shift what issues are considered by shareholder at
annual meetings in the United States.
The Arrival of Widespread Say-on-Pay Votes in U.S.
The most recent and, arguably, highest-profile change came
when President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”
or the “Act”). Although Dodd-Frank was enacted largely to
provide greater governmental oversight for the U.S. financial
services industry, the Act went beyond bank reform and
imposed substantial new requirements on publicly-traded
companies, particularly in the area of executive compensation.
More specifically, Dodd-Frank mandated that publicly traded
companies include an advisory (non-binding) resolution on
their ballots to approve executive compensation, known as
“say-on-pay.”
The new rule created a high level of angst for members of the
corporate community, many of whom feared that institutions
would be susceptible to “knee-jerk” reactions against high
executive compensation in the initial say-on-pay votes. However,
these fears turned out to be unfounded because, as the voting
results from the 2011 proxy season indicate, the vast majority of
companies emerged unscathed. Of the 1,200-plus companies
in our tracking range (Georgeson tracks companies in the S&P
1500 Composite Index that hold their annual meeting in the first
six months of the calendar year), only 25 (or 2 percent) received
less than a majority of votes cast in favor of their say-on-pay
resolution (and in the greater community, only 41 had “failed”
resolutions).1
Moreover, and likely much to the relief of companies, the
resolution appears to have had the positive impact of lowering
the level of withhold/against votes in director elections,
particularly against compensation committee members. In 2010,
Georgeson tracked 748 directors who received at least 15 percent
of votes cast withhold/against, including 317 directors who sat
on the compensation committee of their boards. This year, the
total number of directors who received greater than 15 percent
withhold/against votes fell to 549 (a decrease of 27 percent from
2010 and 47 percent over the past two years), and the number of
directors sitting on the compensation committee fell to only 271,
a decrease of 37 percent from 2010.
Strong voting results on say-on-pay and improved figures
relating to the election of directors are largely attributable to
two factors. First, many companies chose to enhance their
CD&A disclosure and provided shareholders with a clearer
understanding of their compensation philosophy, their current
compensation practices and the metrics that were used to make
their compensation decisions. Second, more companies engaged
in dialogue with their largest shareholders, either prior to or
at the outset of proxy season to gain a clearer understanding
of the factors their shareholders use to evaluate executive
> 5
compensation issues. Similarly, Georgeson found that companies
were more willing to engage with their largest holders in the
face of a negative recommendation from one of the major proxy
advisory firms on key proxy issues like say-on-pay, particularly
if the companies believed the advisory report was incomplete
or inaccurate. For example, one common topic for discussion
on say-on-pay vote recommendations related to the peer
groups used by the proxy advisory firms in their benchmarking
of relative pay, which often differed considerably from what
companies had used in their proxy disclosure. This proved to
be a useful point of engagement, because many of the larger
institutional investors disclosed that they did not rely heavily on
proxy advisory peer group analyses and that they would factor
the company’s viewpoint into their analyses. Others questioned
certain advisory firms’ narrow focus on total shareholder return
as the sole measure of company performance.
Georgeson’s findings of a sizable increase in shareholder
engagement are consistent with other reports within the
industry, including a study by the Investor Responsibility

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Research Center Institute on the state of engagement
between U.S. corporations and shareholders, which stated that
“engagement between issuers and investors is common and
increasing both in terms of frequency and subject areas.” 2
Georgeson believes that a strong dialogue between companies
and their shareholders is essential, and we encourage companies
to try and engage on a more frequent basis. In so doing,
Georgeson believes that issuers can minimize the possibility of
failed director elections, say-on-pay votes and other potential
surprises.
Say-When-on-Pay Votes Yield Consistent Results
As for the related issue of “say-when-on-pay” (or “say-on-
frequency”) to determine the frequency of the say-on-pay vote,
a majority of companies saw the early writing on the wall and
proposed annual votes on executive compensation (our research
shows that 66 percent of companies in the S&P 500 and 60
percent of companies in the S&P 1500 recommended that
shareholders adopt an annual approach). With most institutional
investors supporting annual votes on executive compensation
(there were a handful of larger institutions supporting
triennial votes), it came as no surprise that over 90 percent
of meetings for S&P 1500 and nearly 95 percent of meetings
for S&P 500 companies had the annual option receiving at
least a plurality of votes cast in favor. Moreover, Georgeson’s
research has shown that the minority of companies that had
their shareholders support an alternative option typically had
a special circumstance working in favor of that option. The
special circumstance varied by company but often included (i)
a large inside position; (ii) a dual-class voting structure with one
class (usually controlled) having supermajority voting rights;
(iii) a top-heavy institutional profile with one or more of the
larger holders supporting the triennial approach; or (iv) a large
retail component that either followed management or didn’t
vote at all.
It is worth noting that the say-on-frequency resolution is
required to be submitted to shareholders only once every six
years, although companies may choose to submit the resolution
more often. Some clients have asked us if support for a longer
period between votes could increase in the future, particularly as
investors become more comfortable with assessing a particular
company’s compensation practices. While there may be some
merit to that argument, we believe shareholders will continue to
opt for annual say-on-pay votes.
Governance-Related Shareholder Proposals Take a Back Seat
The number of governance-related shareholder proposals has
steadily declined over the past few years and continued to do
the same this year. In fact, the number of governance-related
proposals either submitted or voted on fell to the lowest levels
since the pre-Enron era. The number of shareholder proposals
submitted to companies fell to 417 resolutions, a decline of
over 21 percent from 2010. The number of resolutions that
came to a shareholder vote fell to just 240, a decline of nearly
30 percent from 2010. The substantial decline in resolutions
submitted and voted on did not come as a surprise because
Dodd-Frank addressed many of the activists’ compensation-
related concerns. These included: (i) requests for mandatory
say-on-pay requirements (53 resolutions voted on in 2010),
(ii) advisory votes on golden parachutes (a popular resolution
over the past decade and three resolutions voted on in 2010),
and (iii) mandatory clawback provisions (three resolutions
voted on in 2010).
While Dodd-Frank was certainly a contributing factor to the
overall decline in shareholder resolutions, it is not the only
factor. As the level of engagement between companies and
shareholders has increased considerably over the past few
years, companies have shown an increased willingness to make
changes to their governance practices. In addition, according to
recent statistics, the number of companies with anti-takeover
> 7
votes cast in favor. These results stand in stark contrast to those
outcomes for companies that had implemented a plurality
plus voting standard, where the average level of shareholder
support has largely remained the same over the past five years.
In fact, over the past five years the average level of support has
dropped one percentage point, from 45 percent in 2007 to 44
percent this year.
Investor Support for Special Meetings and Written
Consent Declines
Proposals seeking to provide shareholders with the right to
call special meetings or act by written consent continued to be
popular among activists again this year with 61 resolutions (29
special meeting resolutions and 32 written consent resolutions)
going to a shareholder vote. However, shareholder support
for these items declined for the first time since they were
introduced. For special meetings, the 29 resolutions that were
submitted to a vote of shareholders averaged 40 percent
of votes cast in favor, a decline of two percent from 2010.
Support for written consent resolutions fell six percent, from an
average of 54 percent of votes cast in favor in 2010 to just 48
percent in 2011.
Both of these types of resolutions are recent additions to the
annual meeting landscape (special meeting proposals started to
appear as a Rule 14a-8 resolution in 2007 and written consent in
2010), and voting results for newer resolutions often experience
periods of fluctuation before investors fully develop their
policies. However, corporations being proactive in responding
to shareholder concerns actually accounts for the variance.
According to Georgeson’s research, 21 of the 29 companies
that were subject to the special meeting resolution already
provided shareholders with the right to call a special meeting.
Nearly a majority of targeted companies had an established
threshold of 25 percent to call a special meeting (13 of the 29),
but a few had even lower standards, including four that had a
provisions, a common subject for shareholder resolutions,
has continued to fall: the percentage of S&P 500 companies
with classified boards dropped to 25 percent,3 and poison pills
fell to 11 percent.4 At the same time, the percentage of S&P
500 companies that have formally adopted majority voting in
uncontested director elections has risen to 77 percent 5 (up from
66 percent in 2007).6 The percentage of companies providing
shareholders with the right to call a special meeting is up to 51 7
(up from 34 percent in 2006).8 The percentage of companies
that allow shareholders to act by written consent is up to 28 9 (up
from 15 percent in 2008).10
Among the resolutions that appeared on proxy ballots,
board-related resolutions were the most popular this season,
accounting for over 25 percent of the governance proposals
voted on. Majority voting resolutions, considered by activists
to be the “missing link” in Dodd-Frank, accounted for exactly
half of the board-related resolutions, with 31 proposals going
to shareholder vote. Overall support for majority voting
shareholder proposals marginally increased from 2010,
averaging approximately 57 percent of votes cast in favor, up
1 percent from 2010. One point worth noting is the growing
disparity in the results of majority vote proposals between
those companies that have chosen to retain a “pure plurality”
voting standard and those that have adopted what is called a
“plurality plus” standard (whereby the company formally retains
a plurality voting standard but implements a board policy stating
that any director who receives more votes withheld than in
favor would be required to submit his or her resignation to the
board, subject to the board’s final decision as to whether to
accept the resignation). In 2007, support for majority voting
shareholder proposals at companies that had a pure plurality
voting standard averaged 57 percent of votes cast, with four
of the eight resolutions receiving greater than a majority of
votes cast. In 2011, that grew to 69 percent of votes cast with
14 of the 15 resolutions receiving greater than a majority of

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
20 percent threshold and two for a 15 percent threshold. Similar
numbers appeared with written consent resolutions, with 26 of
the 32 companies targeted having special meeting provisions
in place, including 12 with a 25 percent threshold, six with a 20
percent threshold, three with a 15 percent threshold and four
with a 10 percent threshold. There was also one company who
provided shareholders with the right to call a special meeting at
a threshold higher than 25 percent.
Another contributing factor was ISS, one of the leading proxy
advisory firms, and its new policy on shareholder proposals
regarding shareholders’ right to act by written consent. In 2010,
ISS recommended in favor of written consent resolutions without
looking into other pro-shareholder governance practices that
a company may have implemented to address the underlying
concern of the potential for entrenched management and
shareholders’ ability to act outside of the annual meeting
process. However, after some companies and shareholders
expressed concerns about the negative consequences of
adopting written consent (particularly the potential for
disenfranchising minority stockholders), ISS adopted a case-by-
case approach that takes a handful of other factors into account.
The new policy allows ISS to recommend against a resolution
if companies have: (i) a formal majority voting standard in
uncontested director elections, (ii) an absence of a poison pill or
shareholder-approved poison pill, (iii) an annually-elected board,
and (iv) an “unfettered” right to call a special meeting with no
greater than a 10 percent threshold.
While a similar policy was not enacted for special meeting
resolutions, it is worth noting that ISS took a more lenient stance
in at least one case where the company had made a number of
pro-shareholder changes to its governance profile and already
had a 15 percent threshold to call a special meeting. Glass Lewis,
another prominent proxy advisory firm, has a similar — albeit
slightly more pro-shareholder — stance when evaluating these
shareholder proposals. It takes into account the following factors
(among others): (i) company size, (ii) company performance, (iii)
shareholder structure, (iv) the existence of other anti-takeover
provisions, (v) the opportunity for shareholder action outside
of the annual meeting cycle, and (vi) board responsiveness to
previous shareholder proposals.
With shareholder sentiment on these issues clearly in a state
of flux, companies are urged to remain vigilant of the trends.
The special meeting proposals being submitted ask companies
to adopt the measure with a 10 percent meeting threshold. Yet,
the results we have seen show that a majority of investors, while
generally supportive of the right, will not automatically vote for
the resolution if the company has already addressed the issue.
Shareholders have even been receptive to the inclusion of other
provisions, such as minimum holding periods, in the rule. Thus,
companies are encouraged to assess their own shareholder base,
engage with holders and respond to concerns as necessary.
Some Social Resolutions Pushing the Governance Agenda
Although Georgeson focuses its Review on governance
resolutions, we occasionally focus on “hot button” issues outside
the governance realm to the extent that these issues put
pressure on boards to respond quickly to a growing activist issue.
One of these issues relates to political contributions disclosure.
Shareholder activists have focused on political contributions
as a governance issue by questioning the appropriate use of
corporate assets. Proponents of these resolutions, which include
major labor unions and pension funds, believe that companies
should provide greater transparency and accountability in
their spending on and policies concerning political activities.
While some companies have implemented policies to disclose
contributions made directly to individual candidates, proponents
say these policies are incomplete. They argue that policies should
be expanded to include “direct and indirect political contributions
to candidates, political parties, political organizations or ballot
> 9
referendums; independent expenditures; or electioneering
communications on behalf of a federal, state or local candidate.” 11
The notion of providing detailed reports on political expenditures
has received increased attention, principally as a result of the
Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United vs. Federal Election
Commission (2010), which lifted restrictions on political spending
by corporations and now allows corporations more latitude to
donate indirectly in support of or against certain candidates.
As a result, average support for the 40 resolutions we tracked
that ask for companies to “Report on Policies and Procedures
Contributions” (there are several different types of political
contribution resolutions) was just over 26 percent of votes cast
(relatively high for a social-based resolution), including a few that
received greater than 40 percent of votes.
With the next U.S. Presidential election less than one year
away, Georgeson believes that the issue of corporate political
contributions will continue to grow. There are groups, including
the Center for Political Accountability, that rate companies
according to their policies and reporting transparency, and
have gone so far as to draft model shareholder resolutions
for shareholder activists to use. Furthermore, Georgeson
expects the next round of popular resolutions to be similar
to those that were submitted by the American Federation of
State, County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME). The AFSCME
resolutions go beyond contributions to political candidates
and address contributions made to trade associations and
grassroots organizations that indirectly influence political
outcomes. Although activists’ efforts will likely focus on large cap
companies, Georgeson encourages all companies to assess their
vulnerability to these proposals, based on their current policies
and levels of disclosure, particularly in comparison to their
industry peer companies.
The Road Ahead
Undoubtedly, the growing pains of having to deal with say-on-
pay in the 2011 proxy season were challenging for companies
and investors alike. While some institutional investors went to
great lengths to develop detailed policies on say-on-pay, many
others had not fully developed specific guidelines on how to
assess overall compensation and translate it into a vote. Even
among those that have created detailed guidelines, we found
that the particular areas of focus differed (some institutional
investors expressed a greater interest in disclosure and looked
to understand a company’s compensation philosophy while
others reviewed a company’s performance and overall levels of
compensation). Also, some of the post-season feedback from
institutional investors indicates that their governance policies
are not yet fully settled and could result in more say-on-pay
against votes in 2012. With a high level of uncertainty for the
upcoming season, it is important for companies to engage their
largest investors early, to understand their investors’ approach
to evaluating compensation and to make changes as they deem
appropriate.
From a shareholder proposal standpoint, Georgeson expects
the number of proposals submitted to increase in 2012 for
several reasons. To begin with, as a result of the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia decision in July to vacate
the SEC’s “proxy access” rule (Rule 14a-11 of the Exchange Act of
1934), which would have required public companies to include
shareholder nominees for director in company proxy materials,
we expect activists to focus on “private ordering” (seeking proxy
access on a company-by-company basis, through the submission
of Rule 14a-8 resolutions). It is not yet clear how prevalent such
resolutions will be or which companies will be targeted. We
believe activists will focus on the weakest performers that lack
many of the “best practices” in corporate governance advocated
by the activists. We expect that the coming resolutions will focus
on the key elements of the vacated SEC rule which included
minimum percentage of and time periods for ownership.
> 10
In addition, Georgeson expects to see an increase in proposals
submitted by unions and pension funds, which now have a new
partner in the American Corporate Governance Institute (ACGI).
The ACGI, which describes itself as a “research and advisory
organization that seeks to contribute to improving corporate
governance and accountability in publicly traded companies,”
is headed by Lucian Bebchuk, a noted Harvard Law School
Professor and long time advocate of shareholder rights. This
past season, the ACGI worked with the Florida State Board of
Administration (FSBA) and the Nathan Cummings Foundation
to help identify potential targets for shareholder activism and
assisted in the drafting of shareholder proposal and handling
the no-action process at the SEC. With the ACGI’s help, the FSBA
and the Nathan Cummings Foundation submitted 14 shareholder
resolutions on declassifying boards, with 10 appearing on
corporate ballots and four either withdrawn or omitted.12
We expect that the ACGI will increase its efforts in the coming
year, in both the number of investor groups with which it works
and potentially the types of resolutions submitted.
The 2012 proxy season will be no less challenging than the last.
As always, the keys to coping with increasing demands are
knowing your shareholder base, engaging with its members
and maintaining the flexibility to change.

METHODOLOGY
Management and Shareholder Proposals
Georgeson independently surveyed companies that (1) are U.S. members of the S&P 1500 Supercomposite Index as of January 2011, and (2) that held annual meetings within the first six months of the calendar year. We obtained the number of votes that were cast for, against, or withheld, and abstentions, as well as the number of broker non-votes from publicly available sources.
We then calculated for each proposal: > The votes cast for and against as a percentage of shares voted in the quorum, and > The votes cast for and against as a percentage of the company’s total voting power.
Finally, we illustrated the trends in proposal sponsorship and graphed the voting results for major governance issues.
Contested Solicitations
Proxy contest information reflects Georgeson’s best effort to track the contested elections that have taken place during the 2011 calendar year. Our search criteria is not limited to any specific benchmark index (e.g., S&P 1500 companies) or part of the calendar year (e.g., first six months). Georgeson acted as a consultant in many of these contests.
For further information on how Georgeson defines “contested solicitation”, please refer to the footnote in Figure 23.
Other Notes
Georgeson’s data collection and calculation methodology ensure the accuracy and comparability of our statistics from company to company and from year to year. We thereby avoid the anomalies that result from companies’ and sponsors’ inconsistent treatment of abstentions and broker non-votes. Information on shareholder proposals withdrawn or omitted was gathered with the assistance of ISS Governance Analytics. Georgeson has collected and published statistics on corporate governance proposals since 1987, the year institutional investors first sponsored shareholder proposals.

FIGURE 23> Contested Solicitations – 2011*
1 None of the nominees received a sufficient number of votes to be elected; therefore, the incumbent directors/trustees will continue serving.
* Contested solicitations are defined as campaigns where dissidents distribute a separate proxy card. Also, only solicitation where materials were filed under Section 14 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 were included, so that the proxy fights in foreign jurisdictions were excluded.
** Other activist campaigns include publicized disputes where persons attempted to influence the results of a proxy solicitation without distributing opposition proxy material.
